Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 6, 2013 - One of our largest blends (381 cases produced in this vintage),
the La Rochelle Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands wonderfully symbolizes our
goal of creating wines of complexity and balance; wines that reflect a winemaking
philosophy and the region that produces the fruit that goes into it. In the dark
cherry and raspberry fruit notes, the subtle aromas of soy and forest floor, Sarmento
and Tondre Grapefield are revealed. In the wine’s red cherry entry and persistent
finishing acidity, Paraiso Vineyard and White Sage are evident. From the intensity of the wine at entry through the silkiness
of its mid-palate to its broad and balanced tannins on the long finish, the 2009 Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands shows its
world-class pedigree. This wine will age effortlessly for 5-7 years if stored correctly. 381 cases produced
